- In a synchronous logic circuit, the most common type of digital circuit, the clock signal is applied to all storage devices, flip-flops and latches, and causes them all to change state simultaneously, preventing race conditions.
- A clock signal is produced by an electronic oscillator called a clock generator.
- The most common clock signal is in the form of a square wave with a 50% duty cycle.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Clock signal article was read about 30,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 63 and blocks with 35: each hit it takes is cut by 14 %.
